VBSEO --> XF Rewrite Rules for Nginx?

[Coop1979]

I'm finishing up an import from vB 3.8 + VBSEO and am trying to setup the rewrite rules for Nginx. Here are the rules for Apache:

RewriteRule [^/]+/([\d]+)-.+-([\d]+).html showthread.php?t=$1&page=$2 [NC,L]
RewriteRule [^/]+/([\d]+)-.+.html showthread.php?t=$1 [NC,L]

I tried using this site to convert the RewriteRules, but this rewrite doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas?

        location /forums {
        rewrite ^/forums/[^/]+/([d]+)-.+.html /showthread.php?t=$1 last;
}

Instead of:

([d]+)

Try:

([0-9]+)

Or:

(\d+)

Also try getting rid of the directory name in your rewrite. So overall try this:

location /forums/ {
	rewrite [^/]+/([0-9]+)-.+\.html /forums/showthread.php?t=$1 last;
}

Jake - Awesome, that works beautifully. How do I convert this one (the one for thread paging)?

 RewriteRule [^/]+/([\d]+)-.+-([\d]+).html showthread.php?t=$1&page=$2 [NC,L]

Finally, how do I do a simple redirect from http://mysite.com/forums/my-forum to http://mysite.com/forums/51

Here is for thread paging:

location /forums/ {
	rewrite [^/]+/([0-9]+)-.+-([0-9]+)\.html /forums/showthread.php?t=$1&page=$2 last;
}

Finally, how do I do a simple redirect from http://mysite.com/forums/my-forum to http://mysite.com/forums/51

Use this:

location /forums/ {
	rewrite my-forum /forums/51 permanent;
}

That works great. Next time I'm in SD, beers are on me.

Ran into an un-anticipated hiccup with some links this morning. If the vbSEO link is a direct link to a post, it appends "#post1234" to the end of the link. The url redirection carries that "#post1234" through in the url, but in order for XenForo to actually go to the correct post, the end of the url needs to be formatted as "#post-1234".

For example, the redirected link is currently this:

http://mysite.com/threads/18-000-please-help-me.88518/#post1241833

But needs to be this:

http://mysite.com/threads/18-000-please-help-me.88518/#post-1241833

How can I add that '-' to the redirected link using my Nginx re-write rule?

Can't do anchors. Some discussion here:
